At long last! I downloaded my camera and snuck a few moments to scrap the new stars of The Dairy Barn B&B (aka my residence) Meet Thumper and Bumper, two new steers destined to be fabulous grass fed steaks. A bit unsentimental of a view perhaps, but I am very fond of ribeye and I'm trying to be a stronger locavore. They are very sweet calves. They like their ears and chins scratched just like big dogs :-)
Thumper and Bumper were actually being raised in secret by one of my uncle's friends. We've been talking in code about them for about 6 months before we suprised Grandpa Don with them. The lack of shocked reaction was kinda dissapointing, but that's a stoic old farmer for you. Don't let him fool you, he's just goofy over those two cows. Probably likes them even more since he doesn't have to get up at 4 am to milk them.
See Alfie. See Alfie the cow dog "gaurd" the strange new additions to the farmyard.
PS- Isn't that paper pretty? I just discovered Webster's Pages, I'm completely in love with them. It's Anna Griffin meets Basic Grey and them made 10 times more wonderful. Go check out their sample pages here - http://websterspages.ning.com/ I promise you'll be inspired!
